I started traveling with son at six months and would just pop a bottle in his month during landing and takeoff

wouldn't travel with baby to kingston because I wouldn't want the baby around all those people while waiting for and during the interview. People have a tendancy to want to touch baby faces. and my son got a nasty eye infection when he was less than two weeks old which never went away and ended up in him having a blocked tear duct and needing surgey when he was 16 months old due to people touching his face. So now unless I have clean hands, I just look at babies and say how cute they are.

I dont' even want anyone coming to my house until this baby is a month old. I probably sound paranoid but I just remember mucus just coming out of my son's eye all the time. not a pretty sight.

I'll look into the johnson and johnson wipes and I saw a bouncer that has a net that zips up so bugs couldn't get in.

You know, most people in JA feel the same u do believe it or not..they do not touch baby faces, hold them w/o a blanket....don't bathe them certain times of the day...don't bring them out they r pretty good with that stuff...It is here in the US that i find complete STRANGERS wanting to touch ur baby. I had this one lady caught the biggest attitude b/c I told she can't put her hands in my daughters face..I have a phobia of dirt and I almost flipped on her touching my baby face..must be out of ur mind :devil:

And another thing the J&J thing is a liquid not a wipe...

I will be soon going to the airport. It is so werid to see that he changed his myspace page and says he lives in IL now. My dad really wants to go with me to the airport. He said for me to call him so he can get out of his boring meeting at work and he will say that it is something urgent to come with me. I am amazed the flight is actually on time. Who would of thunk that for Air Jamaica.

Hubby was saying he was going to crash and die today on the plane. Because they have an air Jamaica crew but not an Air Jamaica plane and he really wanted to fly Air JA. I asked him what kind of plane he siad he didn't know how to say it. He calmed down and relaxed. I can't imagine my first big plane ride at my age. I have been a world traveler since 6 yrs of age. So we are off to buy Crispy Creams for his arrival. My mom wanted me to stop by her house tonight but we have a full schedule so we will see. I think Dad wanted to take him to IHOP since that is the first place he wants to eat at in America. :lol:

Have a wonderful Thursday night everyone!!!

I am thankful that Dwain doesn't smoke and takes me very seriously. It took a while to understand how serious but we were just kids at the time. Now my mom called and she wants to go to the airport too. Were all three going to get him wow I can't believe my parents want to go pick him up :whistle: What a wonderful support team they are for us showing us true love. They have been married 35 years. Alright its time to hope on the road. Thanks for all the welcomes I will let him know.

Not that my husband doesn't take me and our marriage seriously..he very much does...we had no idea of a date and he thought that he could have used "cleansers" to pass his test if he had gotten "time". When u don't realise u have an addiction it's not easy. Most Jamaicans think that they are not addicted or cannot be addicted to weed. Herein lies the "PROBLEM" It has nothing to do with being taken seriously.

I'm also thinking about going down for his interview but unsure about traveling with a young baby, baby is due 7/10 if he has a late august interview should I go down? I'll be on maternity leave and my son will be out of school. I told him I wouldn't bring the baby with us to kingston and he said his mom would keep the baby, I was at her house last week and she lives in the country and I was getting bitten by something even though I had sprayed myself with OFF, so unsure what to do. I wouldn't mind if she came to his house

any thoughts?

I would at least wait until after your 6 week check-up to make sure you and baby are ok according to the doc. I'm not sure when and how many vaccines they have to get when they're born. Would it be safe to travel out of the country before baby gets all required vaccines?

Now, funny thing is, was wondering if we could by any chance file for AOS since I get there 10 days before the new fees come in, and whether it's worth trying to.....

You have to get married before you file for AOS! I don't think you can pull it off that quickly!

My due date is either Spet 14th or 16th lol.......

My birthday is Sept. 14 :D

When his mom goes to visit his sister, she stays in a hotel, I would be SCANDALIZED for anyone to say they were coming to DC to see me and have to tell them they had to stay in a hotel....But he's pretty firm about this, so guess hotel it is :(

Really got to me though, because that's not how I grew up.....

That's really crappy. I would be really upset if my hubby told me my own family couldn't stay with us in our home while visiting :( When I go to Florida, I usually stay with my cousins - last time it was for 10 days. When I go visit my girlfriend in Kansas, I stay with her at her apartment. Her and her husband and baby are coming here in July for 10 days and staying with us. When my aunt & uncle come to Michigan, they stay with my parents. It is definately not a cultural thing. I guess it depends on how you were brought up.

When my friend had her baby, anyone who came over had to wash their hands with soap and rub on an anti-bacterial hand sanitizer before touching the baby. At the time I thought it was weird, but now that I'm pregnant with my own, I'm sure I'm going to be just as protective :luv:
